BIG TWIN
3⁵⁄₈” Big Bore Cylinder for Evolution motors with 4¹⁄₄” stroke 
forged pistons are with Hastings Rings pre-fit in the heavy wall 
cylinders. Cylinder Sets 3⁵⁄₈” and larger require case boring.

Oil Fix Kit for Big Twin Evolution on 
models includes two cylinder base 
gaskets and two oil jet controls which 
control the oil coming from the head 
through the barrel and into the case, so 
the oil does not touch the base gasket 
thereby not leaking through the base 
gasket.
VT No. 15-0597
The Sifton cylinders have a very thick, large outside diameter, 
“cast in” liner which has been proven to be an important factor 
to maintain thermal stability which is the ability to retain the 
important cylinder bore dimension through repeated heat cycles.

KB PERFORMANCE PISTONS
The Keith Black 390 Hypereutectic alloy is cast in a permanent steel mold 
which makes it possible to build a light weight piston that makes more power 
and uses less fuel and lasts longer than any other type of piston being made 
today. We can now forget about running loose, noisy, oil-burning pistons. 
The low heat transfer of the alloy keeps the skirts cool so piston expansion is 
minimal. Test engines have  run with as little as .0005” (¹⁄₂ thousandth) piston-
to-wall clearance. The combination of a low heat transfer piston alloy and high 
compression ring placement increases power and economy. The high ring 
placement alone reduces detonation and increases the top ring temperature. 
It is important to see our ring end gap instructions to avoid ring butting.
The KB piston will make maximum power at 2 to 4 degrees less total timing 
than conventional pistons. All KB piston sets are supplied with Hastings Moly 
Ring sets. Safe top ring end gaps can be found by multiplying the bore 
diameter by the appropriate ring end gap factor from the adjoining chart.
Example: 3.5” bore “Street Normally Aspirated” = 3.5” bore x .0065” = 
.023” top ring end gap.
Note: Second ring end gaps do not need extra clearance
